"wispy" poems
Gliding deftly along the city street rolling quick and constantly onward to some unknown scene, some backward park in the nighttime smoke curling from these parted lips, moist and inviting calling me somewhere I've never seen. New day, new night new feelings, rage in delight fill me with your hilarious entropy, knock my quarks into the next century, will you please? Now you're smoking the pipe and all at once you are free between you and me, this smoke is thicker and sticks like glue, wispy and dreamy and the world spins and calls Toltec telephone company can't pay me for all those calls collected and rendered obsolete Sun god dead as that silly calendar meme Amaterasu, and Imma tell you these ladies in the picnic table buried alive for boxed lunch and god's brunch Jesus ******* Christ and a indelible roster of good guys, to which we all must strive to live and die behind, never moving forward chasing our tails like a sick dog under the jasmine runner between the decades-old tanbark imported from overseas dead trees dead canine and oh isn't it just divine? You see it, pretty lady. I can see it hiding behind your eyes the things you don't tell the others because you're afraid if they found out, you'd be crucified. Well honey I hate to inform, With KGB efficiency that these love-a-dumbs aint Methuselah, they'll be dead! long before your flood of tears tears me from the land ballistas me across the great expanse to some strange Ararat of the eastern seaboard, or maybe wash me deep along the 80 into the desert sands and tiles on a leaky cell phone screen desperately trying to dial home on low battery, realizing all this was one big deferred dream, baking in the sun and shriveling oh well, back to the grindstone-- all those lies plucked your nose, gotta cut it back to size, 'else your soul it'll outgrow Don't worry honey bee It hasn't happened to me, and We know with calcuable mathematical truth that it'll never happen to you.

Save me. Save me from the place inside of me that Loathes my existence. help, it is pulling me down. Dragging me deeper into to this dark cold place full of everything i hate. like you, and me. i hate You more than anything on the face of this planet, well except for me. i hate me hate me more than a mother hates the murderer of Her own Child. this Calamitous pit inside me like a Rabbit's hole i can Never escape, no matter how i scratch at the sides until my fingers bleed. there is a lot of blood in this place. It's the poison inside of me, the reason why i breathe in short, wispy breaths. It's got to be the answer. i've got to get the poison out. i dig and dig. dig, dig, dig, dig and not once do i cry of pain. i dig and dig. deeper and deeper. the Hot Malicious wine of my pain flows all around me and the world turns grey as my head begins to spin. i hear You. i know how much You hate me. LEAVE ME ALONE GOD ****** the only colour i see now is the deep red of a rose as i clench my hands tighter around the thorns and then Drip. Drip. The sound of my own breath shocks me. i lay at the bottom of the bottomless cistern inside of my soul. the air in my lungs hissing, as i lay there broken. Vulnerable.   in a pool of my own sorrow, thick and dark. You have left me to die. You were the only one i let into this place You pushed me down. You killed me please Someone help before the rasp in my chest completely fades.

The special place inside of me
I look out from this little world with all it's dancers dancing Mighty trees tickle the sky The birds in them romancing If we but stop and listen we'll hear the music playing Stop a while and close your eyes exhale the troubles weighing Down around your shoulders Thoughts that cloud your heart We're only here but for a while Before we drift apart Like clouds across the silver moon we're here and gone far too soon Then pass into the inky night Still around, yet out of sight Some of our clouds stretch for miles Others stacked in fragile piles Some full and dark and hanging low Filled with tears they can't let go Some so wispy and so light Their presence a mere oversight Some whose wrath begets a name Who form a mighty hurricane Some who rumble in the night Hurling lightening left and right Some dark and brooding, filled with snow Dumping ice on all below Some that twist right to the ground Violently they spin around Some collide, some drift away Some prefer night, some prefer day So let us stop and gaze up high To find ourselves within the sky

Clouds
In the wispy glow of dusk he came mazing through years of husk memory groped his name. Then I remembered. Though drew us apart fate once we were very close inseparable classmate! Seemed so empty even an hour without him more together more the happy we bonded too in dream. Shared we two same liking and taste loved to do living without the rest. I have come to close a deal in his eyes was sadness spread *hope you remember still the promise we made.* I remembered. when we last met he said *let’s seal this with trust must come to meet his heart’s pal the one departing first.*

august’s withered days swing from view.⠀⠀ flicker of a breeze caresses earth’s cheek.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ crinkle of a leaf, a wail beneath your feet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ a wispy veil of dew covers the dried remains of a summer’s past. treetops glistering, vibrant golden hues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ first flicker of daybreak rising slowly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ an infant’s feeble cry of autumn’s might.⠀⠀⠀

*Inebriated blue cloud, I know you well enough libertine ways you have make you a lover of deep thunder and meek rainbow and also a chit of a lark that loses itself in a song be it is in grief or mirth. Strange is the ways of my heart, how much I long to fall in love with you and proclaim this to the world scheming to disrupt the pleasures one seeks without any reason at all "Look! love has no limits, no reason even the lovely cloud, softness personified caresses my foliage with sensuous abandon kisses me with her wispy lips of moisture" I know you understand, though unmindful of my unbridled passion making breaches in the limits, I have no illusion about our improbable union. True, how can we live happily ever after? I envy your gift of wings though you have none visible, you borrow it from the wayward wind, too willing to carry your sweet load around. I stood on the hill top, wistfully thinking that you will come and take me within your soft folds though I am a tree with deep running roots that has become a restraining thing. Freedom without any limit gets you inebriated every minute, your love for love,  makes you desirable you live in the present, suspend thoughts on time to come as it is hypothetical, you say. You are in a hurry to roam wherever lovers lead you one after the other do you have an urge to dissolve and pour- as water, without any remorse? Do you know my  penitence for your love on this hilltop is a true sacrifice? My love for you doesn't bring anything except my wilting hour after hour. Let me be on your blue breast for moments when my boiling love will seek your shining center that melts, melts we'd freeze as one, how long my darling? Time would simply stand still to a distance, i'd be transported, where tree or cloud means nothing we are an incessant rain lasting for ever.*

She stands at a cross roads, looking from left to right, trying to decide which path to take She turns to the left, where she sees a dark and dismal sky, where the path breaks up into tiny shards of gravel She then turns to the right, where she sees a pleasant blue sky marked with wispy white clouds, where the path transforms into even blocks of cobblestone Could she, struck with life's hardships, caught in life's desolation, choose the path which will lead her home? Her eyes drift to and fro, summing up both paths, attempting to decide on just one Should she choose a path of dark or light, tragedy or happiness, cloudiness or sunshine? Her mind confused, she kneels on the ground, folds her arms, and sends a message from her heart to the One who will guide her home.

The Crossroads
on the shore only this morning, as ***** yawned and wispy waves woke to sun’s call with a million speckled sparkles of light I was alone with my thoughts and your crisp footprints in the sand the scent of your hands still on me fading with each mist filled breath I took you were still there your seed crawling down my leg but tides change and your prints soon filled with salt and sand and the sun, our benediction only a dreamy minute ago melted into the craggy bluffs and I was left to walk alone without your shivering shaft filling me or your groping but grateful hands touching me alone, on my night walk alone, how I began and will end, my… night walk

Dear Nike, No better felling then when I get that new shoe smell Fresher than a spring breeze Like a wizard making a new spell I reach out and grab my Nikes Pull them on my feet They are Comfy as a the softest cloud Smooth as the purest silk Magnificent as a majestic eagle spreading its wings to fly off into a deep red sunset They make me feel relaxed as  sitting in the shade on a warm summer day When I wear you I feel as strong as the Rock lifting a thousand pounds faster than Usain Bolt shattering a world record and hearing fans cream his name All the pressure off It's just my Nikes and I I'm a blur with my nikes Fast as a cheetah sprinting after a desperately bounding antelope Can't even see me People try to keep up All they do is trip up When they glance up from the cold hard ground thick mud covering their face All they see are my beautiful piercing green Nikes Running down the court Legs pumping Muscles flexing So much sweat pouring off my face its like a raging river I taste the sourness of salt in my mouth Next thing you know It's all over The buzzer roars Everyones jumps on their feet All eyes locked on the ball flying through the air Fans screaming like angry banshees so loud it could make you deaf Swoosh And it's all over There's a reason Nike means victory It's because no one can even compete Before the battle is started they've already been beat People who don't wear them Just haven't realized that the shoes they wear are inferior Do their shoes give them the power to jump one thousand feet Sprint at the speed of light Make exery shot they take No On the torn up field On the scuffed up court It doesn't matter When I wear my Nikes They make me fly Around the world Through white wispy clouds surrounded by beautiful baby blue sky Across the endless oceans full of green and turquoise churning water and silver jumping fish Through fields full of long dark green grass Feeling the wind blow through my face like an angry hurricane Its like I'm in the flashing streets Hong kong Nike shoe game is just too strong Love, Zach

My back is tight, knotted I'm not entirely sure why But I would trap a dozen Eskimos for a massage, honestly Enter the sad realization that, despite Bruno's good intentions, he is unable to Fulfill this request with paws Oh, but that's alright It's one of those half-hearted dreams That drifts along in wispy bits Every now and again To whisper and invoke a peace Within the cataclysm, but don't dare Turn around, or it will be Gone Like the ghostly fingers untying me One loop at a time because They've lost the scissors

giraffes don't dance
It was only ever flowers, in a meadow wild tangled tendril vines, of blue eyed passiflora caressing stems of blooming heart, delicate dicentra shining silver in early summer, a pond of silken mirrors leafy vines of garland rings, nature weaved perfectly a tranquil scene of bonny swans float silently amidst fallen petals soft nests of downy feathers, wispy on the winds that a woodland summer drifts on

A wispy cloudy day
Like ivy wound and woven through trellis; you envelope my very being. Curling, gripping clutching my skin. Inching upward, reaching for wispy blue skies. Perhaps you are climbing beyond me. I ask only that you do not slight my role in your rise.

She danced across the sidewalk
 Her tiny boots splashing the puddles of color
 Blue, pink, green, yellow
 Her pigtails smudged with paint
 Brown, blonde, black, red
 She dances through the rainbow rain.

 He walks to work, leaden, heavy
 His shoes are black, but polished
 With red, and orange, and yellow
 His hat is dark blue and his coat is green
 His smile is coal, traced in red, 
His face white, with eternal teardrops
 Etched on his face. 

 The boy and girl, young, shy
 Their hands delicately intertwined with strands of purple
 Strings of yellow electricity
 Jumping from heart to heart
 Red raindrops fall up from the sidewalk
 Gravitationally drawn to them
 Tracing their faces before flying away.

 The seagull collides with clouds of orange 
His wing tips blue and wispy
 His beak green as the sea
 Purple fog tints his stomach
 As he tumbles through aqua wind My window only filters mango light
 My ceiling the color of honey
 The air above the floor is black
 The space beneath the ceiling is white
 And everything in between covers my body
 In rainbow rain.

Rainbow Rain
The lone eagle makes its solo journey over the vast horizon I can see my flag in the setting sun as the lemon halo of fire becomes a vivid pomegranate red, the turquoise sky darkening into a sea of navy blue and wispy, white clouds   are hovering over us like spirits in the universe Lady Liberty, overlooking the evening of the New York Harbor, displays her lit up torch like a cosmic nightlight She forever sheds light over weary Americans to remind us to still dream the American dream but that vision often seems so out of our common reach Uncle Sam has put on his nightcap, a tuckered, old man is he The crickets are chirping, singing to me their strange lullabye as I think I'll call it a night Goodnight, America, Goodnight

day long meaningless the monday machine rolls i like the way the sun is and it’s cold out and it’s raining something assails the daybreak fluttering in the chutes abstraction in the boring monotony wispy, hazy and ambivalent by you, wondering what you’ll do next while i wait for the mystery to open up in the swirled world

catch me like a fish everlasting supplier of light rays- warming the soul like a cup of hot tea on a sleepy sunday afternoon - melancholic - swaying the universe the mermaids sing in the mornings mesmerizing the sailors and i am the singer and the mesmerized i am free. i am free from the ropes. free from the chains of a dreary existence. i can feel it i can feel it on the tip of my eyelashes with the swells of tears pouring out. - renewal - - relief - i am a good girl. listener of tall tales and fantasies. spur of the moment night crawler caller. i spin a beautiful web of fantastical clouds. from ropes to cakes. pick your poison. i am a bad girl. keeper of secrets. silent truths bundled under creative happiness and weakly disguised love affairs. - blink and it’s over - i’ll lie in your lap and watch you write- spinning fantastical tales of glorious awakenings. new beginnings.- pull my hair up to attention. i am here. i am wanted. want want grab me. want//need. clever disguises. silent truths. wispy truths. childhood pencil marks. pig tail sneakers. truth drops into heads. eyes drop onto the floor. teeth sink into lips. heart drops into stomach. limbs fold over limbs and the being falls slowly upon itself. when i wasn’t mine. she wanted me more than she could stand. stabbed me with a ************* pencil. made my heart drop into my ************* stomach.

melancholic mermaid love affairs
Manila is beautiful at night, Seen from overhead, high above rainclouds in the night sky with a tantalizing view of car exhaust and the debris of broken dreams Manila is beautiful at night. It comes and goes like a shadow in flickering light. At first, it hides behind wispy rain clouds, playful as a child hiding in his mother's skirt. If you look closely, it's lights glisten-- golden and teasing It's incessant winking, an almost promise of what's to come From your aerial vantage point, you wonder: "This is what it must be like to be an Angel when they fly" Below the city, with all it's secrets, sprawls like a handful: A rich lady's heirloom diamonds, thrown carelessly on a ***** floor. It will somehow remind you of a creature: perhaps human, or Leviathan in it's wake Cities, after all, are their own specie of living things At first it is looks like a Brain, with neurons and synapses electric and active Certain spots of the city: mall compelexes and large parking lots, like the nuclei of a brain cell the roads that lead to and fro, the cars zipping up and down in red and yellow lines remind you of dendrites and axons, stretching far They communicate with each other in their own language; a code Your imagination runs wild with untamed fantasy On next glance, it looks like a heart. The whole city pulses magnificently in unison it seems. Thud, thud. Thud, thud. You feel it? Your heart follows it's tantalizing rhythmic pattern, it's muscle beats Though and through the city pumps it's lifeblood into each nook and cranny Oh how it entices your passion so. At last you seem to hear it breathing. Listen closely and hear Manila inhale and exhale in steady tunes Inhale, and exhale-- a silence comes over you, And it's strangely reminiscent of amazement, excitement and bitter fear Your ears dull and you listen to the rush of air in your lungs, the deep drum bass of the pounding of your heart the dizzying feeling that exists in your brain Manila really is beautiful at night. In the shroud of darkness, it rises from slumber; Vivacious and lovely, it's seductive and free Manila is lovely. Manila is a woman, as it should be.

~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ Though glass, it is rimmed with gold around the cup, handle and even the saucer.

Ainhana gently removes each of their lids by using the cloth, and presents the pearls that were wrapped in sun-kissed foil. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ She first lifts the rosewood caddy towards me. I close my eyes and focus on the scent. Without peeling back the foil, I know. It takes me to the far distant Province of Yunnan, past the snow-kissed mountains and rice terraces to a very still lake. I noticed that it began to bubble before a large splash rose. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ At that moment, I meet the lake's Guardian, the Imperial Wingless Dragon of legend. With its wet emerald-kissed scales drinking the sunlight. It's great body now entwined in a wispy clouds as it stares at me with eyes of liquid moons. Its tail crowned with a peacock feathered eye-spot whips around in the air, leaving an iridescent trail of colours. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ With a great leap, he soars through the air, trumpeting his great roar that rattles the skies. Just as quickly as he rose, he descends down with a Pearl Moon in his brown claw. By the stroke of its sienna-brown whisker, the small Moon cracks, presenting me it's contents, a long kept secret. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ The pearls are the colour of seaweed with streaks of yellow and burnt umber. With earthy notes whirls around my nose, along with some floral sweetness, burnt caramel licks, dragon spice and a wisp of apricot. Ah, so I see! One great guarded secret that he reveals to me! His best pearls ferment in the womb of the Moons! Purified by the Star Virtues of Elysia's Harmony! ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ 'Wonderfully rich Pu-erh Pearls,' I say, my eyes now open. 'My Lady's nose is as sharp as ever!' 'I just know my tea,' I chuckle, 'it's very unique in smell and taste.  I will save such fine broth for another day.' Ainhana nods, places on the tray and lift the burr-oak caddy. I close my eyes once again and my mind wanders yet again. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~

In Venus' starlight I see my own dear fright  I see your reflection Seeping into the night In Venus' starlight Hush, the moon opens its ear The stars are shy, yet they shine They'd rather you don't come near In Venus' starlight We're breathing all just the same The stars align their scars And call you by your last name Bigots, believers, bovinity Strike asunder your centrality Denouncers, dreamers, gazerby There's so much more than a wispy sky The starmen await your ears In Venus' starlight Look away to lunar dreams Mineral profit in rocks An efficient plague, it seems In Venus' starlight Forget about notions of greed Explore on behalf of your race If escape is of no need In Venus' starlight The sand takes a dramatic pose The trees, deceitful, the cattle are poisoned The spaceboys are speaking in prose What you don't believe, is always out there Until you have felt its absence like air You've not seen it all, you won't see it then It’s all you've got, so look, fool, look! You’ve read it in a book

In Venus' Starlight
I want the hollow Cheeks. The full, adipose, smooth Lips. The white-boned, Pearls she calls Teeth. I want the bright, clean, Sun bleached Hair. The fine, sharpened, Ready for scratching, Spotless Nails. The refined, sculpted, Long, profiled Nose. I want gold to flake, Off my ageing, porous, dull, Skin. I want the protruding, Famished, angled Bones. I want the pumping, Arrhythmic Heart. The tired, hissing, Tar coated, smoker’s Lungs. The round, fleshy, Cellulite covered *** The motherly, but Childless plump ******* I want the barren, Bleeding, afflicted ****** I want the faint, Wispy, high-pitched, Call that she calls a Voice. The bruised, bulging, Porcelain polished, etched Knuckles. The wide, protruding, Ballooned up, dangling Hips. The numb, heavy, metal Flavored, gum bleeding Mouth. I want the skewed, Backwards, lost Pedals she calls Feet. I want the hearing less, Wax, pus covered, Ears. The lost dull, lifeless Dumbed down, blue Eyes. I want to be her, All of them, and none. I want to be lost, Unwilling, tame, voiceless, Mindless, childless, Sexless, man-less. I want to be her, but I Can’t. I cannot because I am Thought burdened, fat, Violent, screaming, Child laden, broken nosed, Coarse. I cannot because dirt Flakes off my young Skin. Because my heart pumps, Oxygenated blood, At a steady, rhythmic Beat. My voice baritones, Deep, bottomless, Whispers. I sit on flat, concave Muscle. My lungs breathe, Strong, fresh, smog-less Air. Yellow stained, grainy, calcium-ridden Teeth. Dark, musty, greased Hair. I want to be her, But I won’t.

I remember that day, That faithful day. The day I fell in love with you. Right under that cherry tree, The petals falling on our heads, That day I looked into your eyes. That faithful day brought about many moments of sorrow. Some people chose to move on from us, Like petals floating away with the wispy gusts of wind. Those who chose to stay And support us, They are truly special. Like rare flowers only found in the Spring. But even if no one was left, I would never leave you. For we are a flower that never dies, A tree that is never felled, An unending embrace. So even if there are no petals left on the sakura trees, And all the flowers have been plucked, We will still stay, Our love unchanged. Throughout the harsh winter And the drought of summer, We will never die. When tests of strength are sprung upon us by the gods of the Earth, We will stand firmly, Implanted in the soft soil. In the field of battle you are the sword, Strong and courageous, And I will be the shield, Protecting you with the strength of my spirit and at your weakest points, Even if blood were to rain from the sky, And the tall, creamy pillars of this world were to crumble and fall to the ground. Together, we are one with everything on this Earth. We hail to no one but ourselves, And we respect ourselves and the land around us just like any flower would. But what the average onlooker doesn’t know, Is that we are no ordinary flower.

May the air be brazen and unafraid. To kiss the glowing embers in our faltering hearts... With its fingers, albeit light and wispy Yet... Calloused with experience. May it never loses its motivation. So it could grant us ours and nurture us back to flame.

Rekindle
She had moonpie eyes and a wildcat smile, draped by slow smooth sip of whiskey hair, the color of corn in the wispy July air And she wore purple and white Irises speckled with yellow as her dress, flowing in the tall grass beneath a willow sky Her feet embraced the earth between her toes, as she twirled a whirl of moonlight, shadowing the daytime's blazing sun And like a cradle rocking, held me like I was newborn
